I am a recently graduated Master student in the field of biology, more specifically on plant sciences. I am a Virgo, not that is important but for some reason sometimes people are keen to know about this things...

My dream is to become tumble-famous.. haha kidding.. although I use tumblr, I don't really wanna become famous, I use to basically be aware of of current issues happening around the world and what other peers, say other persons that are around my age, see them. It's like perusing through their opinions. To be honest, thanks to this site I have become aware of some flaws I got myself very deeply rooted in my personality which now I am trying to change and become a more open-minded guy. And also come on, I browse tumblr to have a good laugh...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am coach surfing to get out of my comfort zone and meet different people outside of my sphere of contacts, to go beyond my reach.
I want to connect with people that are also willing to connect.

Interests

I love love history and classical architecture and art, i.e.: Greek and Roman stuff!!! Specially Roman-related topics. Moreover, I am always eager to learn from people their social and psychological views of different aspects, being them historial or current issues.
I like to be active, and like to jog, cycling and also hitting the gym sometimes.
With foods, I am basically a "food is what you get when you get hungry", not very fond of it but I am trying to change that by immersing myself in a palatal adventure throughout the places I may visit.

Music, Movies, and Books

Indie music, as in indie-electro or something like that.. I also like R & B soul, and of course pop.. hahah .. classical music is always good; however, I am not very versed on this topic and I would definitely like to be introduced by someone who actually knows about it and may predict what kind of composers and opera I might like the most.
When it comes to movies, I am not a big fun. But basically I like comedies, dramas, thrillers... If the movie is very complex, I would definitely watch it with some guidance since I am kinda bad at following a correct thread in this kind of films. Horror movies are a no, definitely ahahah..
Books. Books are sort of my life, or I should say "lives", since I believe that each novel read is a novel you read, a life you live... so then many lives indeed. I love novels, specifically historical novels and thrillers. Moreover, I also like informative and science books such as those that teach you something or expose a certain topic in a detail or general but comprehensible manner.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Come on .. easy one. Existing. Kidding. Actually I think the most amazing thing I have done is to decide to begin on this site, since I have high expectations of it and I am looking forward to be hosted and eventually host when I get my own place.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to learn about cities, I am always interested in the historical point of view of cities, how they were built, how they started, what makes them important... Even more, if the city began as a former Italian or Greek colony! However, names, etymologies, are something that keeps my curiosity going on forever. So, let's say, I like to know the reason behind the names of metro station in Paris, or those in Berlin...
I want to teach people whatever they think I could teach them. I don't have any special skills but a great curiosity for certain topics.
Share. I want to share life.. hahah .. very Osho I know.. But I want to share experience, I want to create a bond with a random person in order for that person to become less random for me and more important as we get to know each other.
According to Epicurus, friendship is a key component for happiness. I want them.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share with my hosts a good talk I believe. If I get a click with someone, I like to talk and talk, however sometimes I think I talk too much. Depending on the person, I could become a good listener though, specially when the topics is about something I do not know or I am insecure about and the other part is more experienced on it.
I can share also a good moment as in, going out and drinking! hahaha .. well the drinking is to be discussed, I drink socially. Moreover, I in all honesty would like to make more friends because living as an expat is sometimes, or always I don't know, difficult. Having company, instead of being always by myself, is like a balm to my scorching loneliness.. haha sorry, that went too dramatic but hum, yeah I like drama sometimes, it puts the spice on a boring life such as mine.
